Just Let Them Alone.

The solicitude lest the Grand Army Of
sanization shall take a hand in politics is
still manifested among those who are dy-
ing TO get a Cleveland grip on the order.
Cleveland found that his arrogant pension
vetoeS. seasoned with false statements and
flppant sneerS at the soldiers. had stirred
up feeling which would he very trouble
some to him after ne should be renominat-

A Big Mistake.

The moulting season, or the season when
hens shed their feathers will soon be at an
end. The process is one that in certain re-
spects debilitates and prevents hens from lay
ing. The reason of this Is that the gre ng
of new feathers requires all the nitrogen ..d
phosphates contained in the food AID there is
none left to form the egg. curious fact
about the hen, and one that illustrates the fore
going statement is this. II a hens leg be brok-
en- during the having season. she will Law her
eggs without shells until the break is mended.
The reason for this must be that all the lime
contained in the food il required to unite the
broken bone. there Is therefore none for the
formation of egg shells. The formation of
new feathers does not require any carbona.
eeous or fat producing food. consequently well
fed hens get very fat during the moulting.
Many farmers aud poultry rasers not under
standing all about these things kill off their
old hens because they think they have stopped
LAYING and are fat. This is great mistake,
because If the proper material be furnished
them with their food to supply the increased
demand for nitrogen and phosphates before
mentioned the old hens will be through she'd
ding feathers much sooner and will begin on
the approach of cold weather and they will
continue to lay vigorously all winter. while
the Young pulet>. reserved to take the place
OF the hen. may not begin to lay until much
latter in the season. Very many people have
learned from experience that Sheridan'> Con-
dition Powder mixed once daily with their
food III supply the extra material needed to
strengthen and inNgoratc their hens, enabling
them 10 grow new pumage quickly and com

now la use SheIidnn's Powder. will find that
their Young pullet- will commence To lay n

Alarmed at the rapid spread of prohibit

polling places into tree picnics, counter
associations are being organized in the

that known as the League of Personal Lib

to Germans. and has for its object resis-
tance 70 the eneroachment of prohibition

Aberdeen Cattle.

The black hornless cattle called
Aberdeen are excellent Tor the North
west and West. They are extremely
hardy and make the beat OF beef. The
absence of horns is much in their ia
vor. They compete favorably with
the Shorthorns and Herdfords, but
the Holstein, or Dutch, cattle are quite
different, being better fitted for the
dairy; but the steers make very good
beef. Grade Holstein steers have been
fet for beef with as much profit as any
other kind, but they would not do SO
well under exposure as the poiled
Aberdeen. The polled Angus is very
similar to the Aberdeens. The name
is different; that is all or most OF the
difference. It would be no improve
ment on the Aberdeens to cross them
with any breed, but they make good
leross with Che Shorthorn and the
.arger native COWS.

Moving to Town,

more of our neighbors who have sold

years, we can call to mind only one
